Martin Isenberg has built a career as a versatile and sought-after bassist in New York City’s jazz community, performing at venues including Birdland, the Blue Note, and the Public Theater, and appearing in Broadway productions and festivals across the U.S. and internationally.
With The Way I Feel Inside, he brings a more personal story to the stage. The work draws from a life shaped by early loss, beginning with the death of his father, and follows a path through adolescence, artistic discovery, and years of professional musicianship.
Released in 2023, the album was created during a period of profound change. Isenberg stepped away from a decade-long marriage, leading to a body of work that reflects both uncertainty and transformation. Inspired in part by the visual and emotional tone of filmmaker Wes Anderson, the music explores the idea of reimagining one’s life and identity.
Blending live performance with personal narrative, The Way I Feel Inside moves through themes of loss, reinvention, and acceptance. It is an intimate and evolving work that reflects an artist still in motion, using music as both guide and expression.
